Passing on success secrets to students

“To succeed in life you will need to be able to communicate effectively; this is more than only being able to talk. It is the ability to convey ideas and inspire others with your vision.

The most successful leaders are passionate and driven; this shows in how they communicate with others,” said Dr CV Narasimha Reddi, renowned PR guru and Editor, PR Voice.

Reddi was speaking during the inaugural session on ‘Communication and Public Relations for Employability’ at GITAM University on Thursday. The event was organised by Public Relations Society of India (PRSI), Telangana Chapter.

“Buddha had communicated Buddhism across continents in the good olden days, when there was no mass communication like radio, TV and Social Media. Before Gandhiji’s arrival to India, freedom struggle had been confined about to five cities only. Communication was the secret of their success,” said the PR Guru.

He exhorted the students that without PR nothing has succeeded. PR professional Dr Rani Rajita Madhuri gave a talk on ‘Communications Skills: Need of the Hour’ and Krishna Baji on ‘Public Relations for Employability’.

Prof Ch Sanjay, Principal, School of Technology, Y Babji, National Vice-President (South), PRSI, Dr P Venu Gopal Reddy, Chairman, PRSI and G Aneeja, Secretary, PRSI were present at the event. GITAM University, Hyderabad Pro Vice-Chancellor Prof N Siva Prasad was also present.
